Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether appropriate arrangements can be made for the disposal of surface water from the site
  • whether the proposed development makes suitable provision for the parking of vehicles including its effect on the local highway network

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with development plan policies requiring sustainable urban drainage solutions because no evidence was submitted to justify the proposed discharge to a combined sewer or to demonstrate that alternative drainage options had been explored.
